People are… not lazy, but ordinary johns and janes want as easy and streamlined path as possible. For admins, moderators, actives and IT-oriented such choose-edit-customize operations aren’t any bigger thing.
And actually whole conversation can and will be very valuable quite often. What is this → AI-answer → what if that → AI-answer → tell me more → AI-answer → forum guys, is this, that, those…
For humans amount of posts is not that big problem. Very long post are quite often (because reading from a screen is painful and people have tendency to have the patience of a cockroach[1] but that is another story).
We offer already an opportunity to an user to change a PM to public topic. TL4 doesn’t have that wrench-tool, but there is the topic timer. Yeah, I know — TL4 is really close to moderator and not an ordinary user. But still. We have already broken a rule not to allow converting PMs to topics.
I have no further arguments. And defenetly I don’t have anything to offer as solutions. But the main points are:
- we can’t give a feeling or claim that AI content is written by OP or other human authors
- everything must be as easy and fast as possible
- we are living in the virtual world where most of people just can’t use markdown or short codes[2] because they just don’t remember how, and even as simple task than paste a block of text is not that easy when there is not a bigger screen and mouse
